A museum with an exceptional historic botanical garden in Dijon, where you can learn all about the history of life and biodiversity.
Situated in place of the former harquebusiers' barracks, this beautiful 19th century arcaded building houses the Dijon Museum, itself integrated into a complex now entirely dedicated to the discovery of living things: a space for learning and understanding biodiversity. Welcome to the Arquebusier Science Garden, a completely renovated place that gives pride of place to museography. When you visit this museum, you are on a complete site that includes a historical and exceptional botanical garden, with its varieties of floral species, but also the Raines Pavilion, with its planetarium, which regularly organises scientific and fun exhibitions, as well as the natural history museum. Completely renovated and redesigned a few years ago, the museum invites you to the heart of the history of life and biodiversity. With more than 100,000 visits a year, it is very popular with Dijon residents, adults and children alike, and visitors to the city. The collections are surprising, between the dinosaur skeletons and the numerous showcases that present scenes of animals in the middle of nature. One thing is sure, you won't get bored. The most curious will learn a lot about birds, fish and jungle animals such as the gorilla, elephant, giraffe, lion, tiger... A small part is even reserved for the animals found in the region. A simply fascinating museum.
